  • Positive messages3
    The Men in Black team police sometimes-unruly alien visitors, while ensuring that the populace remains ignorant of the extraterrestrial tourists. The show reinforces ideas that law enforcement is a positive force that's necessary to maintain societal order.
  • Positive role models3
    Agents K and M bravely face dangerous aliens and protect Earth, without expecting any kind of recognition from the oblivious people of this planet. Not only do they take on this thankless task without complaint, they do it with style and aplomb.
  • Violence2
    Some animated fight scenes. The Men in Black use a wide variety of weaponry, ranging from tiny handguns to massive machine gun/blasters, to take on various aliens. There isn’t really any blood or intense violence, but the aliens tend to ooze, spurt, squirt, or spit bodily fluids.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this animated series, which closely follows the popular Men in Black feature film, involves some cartoon violence and a large arsenal of unusual weapons used against an enormous array of extraterrestrials. The series' violence is countered by humor, so most kids should be able to handle it.

This Show Is the Extraterrestrial Bomb!
Just the intro is cool! The show has no real cussing and the violence is pretty much batman style. I really like thier character development and their villans! Wonderful show and great stories! Do not watch it while eating though, it has gross moments...

Lots of fun, but too scary for some kids.

Monsters vs. Aliens

(PG, 2009)

Homage to '50s alien flicks too intense for youngest kids.
